A partner In Nationwide Construction Specialties In Sharonville, Risdon said he works "about 60 hours each week for half pay." But he has no plans at this point for quitting work or moving to a different house.

After these desires are looked after, Risdon said, he will Invest the rest. "You can look at what's here," said Risdon, gesturing toward his large, modern home on Its landscaped lot, "but I still go from week to week It's hard with my mortgage payments and the expenses I have.

If a player selects the correct six numbers, he wins the Jackpot. This week, the Jackpot starts at $250,000 and will continue to grow, as it did the preceding six weeks, if there Is no six-number winner.

"I was sitting on my bed about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and I knew I had already picked four numbers twice. I looked at my wife and I said 'how nice it would be if I could only pick five. That way I could cover my expenses and invest that money in more he recalled. "All of a sudden I looked down and counted five numbers.

Then my wife came over, looked at the ticket and said, 'But you're not looking right. There are six "Six! Then we both jumped up and screamed and hollered." Risdon continued to examine the ticket, even subjecting it to the enlarged vision of a magnifying glass. "I had to look at the ticket 100 times, maybe even 1,000 times," he said. EACH TIME, there were six numbers, the six right ones. Monday afternoon, Risdon and his family stood in the front yard of their home on Greenpine Drive, answering questions from the press and receiving the congratulations of friends.

"I've been in a dream since BY CAMILLA WARRICK Enquirer Reporter By his own confession, David Q. Risdon Is so "naive" about the Ohio Lottery he's never even scanned the backside of a ticket to learn what his chances are. If he'd known a few days ago that winning the new weekly "Ohio Lotto" game meant toppling odds of nearly 2-mllllon-to-1, his confidence might have withered. But what Risdon didn't know obviously didn't hurt him. All he had was a hunch he'd succeed.

And It just happened to be right. MONDAY, THE state lottery commission confirmed that Rlsdon's $1 ticket-one of about 400 he bought last week contained all six winning numbers. Its value upon redemption? $1,886,330. In the space of five days, Risdon, a Springfield Township businessman, became a millionaire. "All I can say Is that anybody who has the opportunity to take a chance should take It and do a little praying because It can happen," he said.

"But until it happens to you, you can't believe it." For almost 36 hours, Risdon, -43, and his wife, Blanca, lived in silence about their triumph. They told none of their friends, nor even their three young children until after the lottery commission verified the ticket late Monday morning. It was about midnight Saturday that Risdon discovered the ticket he purchased last Wednesday at Globe Records Tapes In the Princeton Plaza contained the right collection of digits.

Weicker, said in response to Mr. Reagan's speech Monday, "The Congress has compromised mightily already. It's time the President gets in the compromise process, not the name-calling process." SPEAKING TO the homebuilders at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Mr.

Reagan never acknowledged that his programs had contributed to deficits in the range of $200 billion a year, nor did he once mention the impact of his massive defense buildup on the deficit. Instead, Mr. Reagan warned that "deficit spending represents one of the most alarming dangers to our Republic" and declared that deficits could "squeeze up Interest rates like toothpaste through the tube." BY DAVID HOFFMAN and HELEN DEWAR 1983, The Pott WASHING! ON-President Reagan raised the ante in the budget debate on Capitol Hill Monday by returning to the attack on Congress and urging that deficits be reduced by further domestic spending cuts instead of tax Increases. In a speech with a crisply confrontational tone that suggested he may eventually simply Ignore the congressional budget resolution, the President told the National Association of Home Builders: "Yes, the deficit doctors have their scalpels out all right, but they're not poised over the budget. That's as fat as ever and getting fatter.

What they're ready to operate on is your wallet." revised budget resolution likely to include not only tax Increases but less for defense than Mr. Reagan wants and more domestic spending. ADMINISTRATION officials said Monday that Mr. Reagan may Ignore the budget resolution when it comes out of a conference committee if It fails to dovetail with his own fiscal goals. In a further sign that Mr.

Reagan and Congress may be going separate ways on the budget, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete V. Domenlci, said Monday after a meeting with other Republicans "It seems obvious at this point that we are going to have to have a bipartisan budget" including some elements Mr. Reagan does not want. WHEN THE Senate foundered on the budget resolution last week several leading Republicans called on Mr. Reagan to become more Involved In the process by agreeing to some tax Increase.

In Monday's speech he did become more Involved, but in the opposite direction. Calling on Congress to "summon the discipline needed to rein In the budget monster," Mr. Reagan declared that "simply raising taxes Is not the answer to our problem" and urged Congress Instead to "cut irresponsible spending." He laid the blame for deficits entirely on Capitol Hill and accused the Corigess of violating a pledge to cut $3 in spending for every $1 in new revenues approved In last summer's tax bill.
